I loved this book. I may read it again right away or very soon. I won't stop thinking about it for awhile. I will definitely buy it so I can read it as many times as I want whenever I want. This copy I read is a library copy- I checked it out because I liked the title and wanted to read another Chevalier book.
Victoria's death- Edward's death. 1901-1910. Two families and a little boy grave digger. The story is told from every point of view. Much of the story takes place in and around the cemetery and deals with mourning.
A favorite quote:
“I have spent my life waiting for something to happen,’ she said. ‘And I have come to understand that nothing will. Or it already has, and I blinked during that moment and it's gone. I don't know which is worse — to have missed it or to know there is nothing to miss.”
